13. A based station, comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one hardware processor, wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the at least one hardware processor to perform operations comprising:
configuring a device with a data size limit for transmitting an uplink portion of a common control channel (CCCH);
sending a notification of random access channel (RACH) resources to be used for an initial transmission by the device, wherein the RACH resources include secondary RACH resources, and wherein primary RACH resources are provided by the base station for receipt of access request messages from devices requesting assignment of a channel resource, and when a timing advance is unknown, access request messages for an assignment of a channel resource fora subsequent transmission of data are transmitted by using the primary RACH resources instead of the secondary RACH resources; and
receiving a first message from the device on the uplink portion of the CCCH without a data connection establishment between the device and the base station, wherein the first message includes user traffic data and an identifier.
